1.Purpose of Establishment
　After a decade of turbulent years and drastic changes in the world order, we are

　experiencing unprecedented increase in the level of cooperation, economic interdependence

　and integration among countries around the world. In such environment, no country is able

　to sustain, develop itself and contribute to the prosperity of the entire globe without taking

　cooperative actions with other countries. Indeed, due to internationalization and development

　of the Japanese economy, interactions between Japan and other countries have increased,

　and it is anticipated that expectations and interests toward Japan will intensify further.

　On the other hand, international community has, in some occasions in the past, expressed
　mistrust and criticism toward Japan. In view of this, Japan must endeavor to promote
　mutual understanding and friendship among countries.

　The Tokushukai Scholarship Foundation is dedicated to contribute to the core of
　genuine understanding and friendship between people of different cultures through
　educational, artistic and cultural exchanges. For this purpose, The Tokushukai
　Scholarship Foundation seeks to provide scholarship awards to a wide range of foreign
　students in Japan thereby contributing to the promotion of mutual understanding and
　friendship.
